Question

8 years ago, the ratio of Rohan's and Sohan's age is 5:3. The sum of the present ages of Rohan, Sohan and Mohan is 160 years. If Mohan's present age is equal to the sum of present ages of Rohan and Sohan. What is the present age of Rohan? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 48 years

The present age of Rohan = 5x + 8 =48 years ​

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age be x

Given :

8 years ago, the ratio of Rohan's and Sohan's age = 5x : 3x

The sum of the present ages of Rohan, Sohan and Mohan = 160 years

A/c to the question,

Rohan + Sohan + Mohan = 160 years

(5x + 8) + (3x + 8) + (8x+16) = 160 years

16x + 32 = 160

16x = 128

x = 8

The present age of Rohan = 5x + 8 =48 years ​
